Why does this dark mint chocolate have a Nutri‑Score of E and which nutrients contribute most to that rating?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm assigns negative points for high energy, sugars and saturated fat and positive points for fiber and fruit/vegetable content. This bar provides 44 g of sugars and 22 g of saturated fat per 100 g, which generate the maximum negative points, while its fiber contributes only five positive points and it contains no fruit or vegetables, resulting in an overall low score of E.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 44 g of sugar can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making the product unsuitable for uncontrolled diabetics, and the 22 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol and contribute to elevated blood pressure, so individuals with hypertension should limit consumption.

Is this product suitable for strict diets such as vegan, gluten‑free, or does it contain common allergens?

All ingredients are plant‑based and the bar is gluten‑free, but the sugar is marked "maybe" vegan and the product may contain traces of milk and nuts, meaning it is not safe for nut‑allergic consumers and its vegan status cannot be guaranteed.
